Nowadays everybody wants to talk like they got something to say but nothing comes out when they move their lips just a bunch of gibberish.
No, because they fail to be “the next fortnite” but enough players flock to the “new shiny thing” to make it viable to try. They still make money off of those games in the beginning with predatory sales tactics, they just don’t maintain enough steam or make enough money in the companies eyes.
No matter how many times studios fail and close live service games, players continue to flock to them and dump money on them instead of supporting great indie studios and projects allowing the cycle to continue.
Its not the lack of sleep that kills you, it is the stress on your body from not sleeping for long periods of time causing things like heart failure and aneurysms.
A fork to the hand works as well.
Imagine we mix the two. If a single developer created the (computer) simulation we are living in, aren’t we a hallucination of his brain?
While the creator of the simulation developed the program using his brain, and one could argue thoughts are simply hallucinations of the brain, inside of the simulation we are no longer a part of the “creator”. They may have dreamed us up, but once inside a self contained system we couldn’t be the hallucination of his brain because we now exist outside of it without further control from the creator. (Assuming of course they do not continue to mess with the initial program.)
An interesting though.
I wonder if it’s more or less likely that would be the work of a single developer, or a collaborative effort, like complex development projects require a large group for us. Would assuming a hyper-intelligent brain, or one with infinite time change the equation?
Assuming that the brain is both all knowing and immortal, I would assume that it is capable of creating everything on its own inside of itself. Much like a dream, but far more detailed and consistent.
Is this floating brain (let’s call him ‘god’, just as a placeholder) be more likely to create a physical structure (atoms and such) to run his simulation/hallucination/thought experiment, or just use abstract structures? And would it make a difference for the simulated/hallucinated people inside?
Like our own brains, I would assume it is happening within the biological structures present in the brain. Because it is just a brain in space, I don’t think it is safe to assume it could build foreign structures for use. I would also assume that any changes made could be known by everyone, but likely ignored to maintain the reality. We could explain these changes with the mandala effect, just for fun. Some of us remember, some of us don’t, and this is because the brain is incapable (like us) of full control of every mental faculty.
People who don’t believe in Math are doomed to be taken advantage of. ;)
It formed there.
Statistically speaking it is more likely that a single brain formed randomly and is hallucinating the existence of our lives than our species forming as we are through billions of years of evolution and existing on Earth.
I prefer to assume that we are simply the hallucinations of a brain floating through space. Which is more probable than everyone living in a simulation and a lot funnier to think about.
It is not something anyone needs in their personal life, but it is an amazing tool when used correctly.
Cloaks are seriously underrated outdoor wear.
At 15’ in the air, there aren’t many small animals in front of their faces.
Are you unaware that small animals inhabit the trees where Giraffes feed?
I have always known it as the “Pinky Finger” myself.
That is a very good point and I forgot to consider that the population would heavily skew the average in the humans favour.
Giraffe’s have more risk of additional bones based on your assertion because they tend to, like all grazing herbivores, eat whatever happens to be in front of their faces. Including small animals.
My money is on the Giraffe having the most bones based on that. haha
The point is if they can make the next big thing it is worth the attempt for how much money it makes, and people constantly supporting those kinds of games drives the larger companies to chase the dragon. They will also make some money in the attempt a lot of the time, making them more likely to keep trying.
It is the same with microtransactions. Everyone hates them, yet enough people use them to make it massively profitable.
Be the change you want to see. Instead of making a post complaining about executive decisions, make a post about the great indie games you played recently and get the word out about them.
